The Siege of Kraken's Watch was a four month long siege during the Riga War of the Courlander keep of Kraken's Watch by the Carnatian League, commanded by Ser Rickard Barrow and Duke John of Carnatia. The Courlander forces were commanded by Duke Alexander of Courland, with the White Cross presence commanded by Ser Ulric von Aesterwald. Kraken's Watch, the goal for the Carnatian League, was all that stood between the League and a victory in the internal conflict. A victorious siege could end the war, and restore Kraken's Watch to the House of Vanir.
